As ever I couldnt remember where i had put somethink and have a rule to stop myself going into melt down:
tidy up till you find it, sometimes it can take ages and be just as anoying but most of the time I find stuff as soon as tidy up as today.
I just relised it was my way of coping, just wondering what else i, do you do that might help me, you make me think more about it and improve it,
so tell me what you do, I keep on forgetting to take my meds and cant find a routine for how about you whats your weekness.

went on holiday about a week or two ago,can't remember when. i bought myself a new bigger memory card for my camera. I wanted to take my own pictures. I found my passport about a month before coz no tellin how long it takes to find. put that by my alarm clock and resisted all thoughts of moving it. In the mean time i lost a purse with my co-op card and twentyfive pounds in it. couldnt find my camera but didnt worry still had plenty of time. went on holiday minus my camera. had a lovely time but no pictures. oh well maybe next time.still no purse. but horror of horrors put my laptop somewhere safe coz it has a lot of stuff on it i didnt want to lose, got home and coulodn't find it. took me about a week to find it. but I found my camera. still no purse. actually my daughter found my pooter. I try not to stress about lost things but i count my keys every night to make sure I've got them all if not then search till i find them. as for meds i kept forgetting to take them had to resort to a pill box with sections for four times a day and seven days worth. that way when i couldnt remember whether or not i'd had them i could just check the box. always kept it in the same place,mostly. sometimes get cross with myself at the amount of time i spend looking for stuff. and try to tell OH when I am putting stuff in a SAFE place. though he quite often says i never told him. until i discover ADHD i never knew i had so many coping stratergies don't know if that helps but my best one is to chill. ;D ;D ;D still haven't found my purse despite many tidying sessions. must remember to get another coop divi card

I always set my clocks to be a couple of minutes faster than it actually is and I tend to get to appointments on time by putting them on the calendar with five minutes added before the start time to allow for my total disorganisation as I leave the house.

The lists I put in my day diary in previous week were no entry and scrub out when done put all ideas in the front like become naked waiter etc and then have got all these ideas that wont loose, and lists and if forget to do any can see them sitting there like Ive got see GP and havent done from last week .
Puting meds in kitchen yes FGMNT will do that for log ins I use sayings like what goes up must come down take first letter of each word easy to remember
If i put clock forward in car would end up driving like a maniac or sorry already do LOL! but would be even worse.

ARgh lists. When I was working I used to take a piece of till paper and write something down, stuff it in pocket. then again another bit lol. Ended up with lots of bits of paper, maybe 40% rate. In the end I just used to tidy my desk into carrier bags and hang them on my bed stead thingies........
Well, some bags stayed there for months..
They biodegrade these days.......
All you can really do is stick a whiteboard on your door and "remember" to write what you need to do.

lists ;D im always writing them in my numerous diaries and notebooks, i lose the books tho and dont check to lists so ive started to give up on that one, at the moment ive got lots of notices stuck up on my stairs on a4 paper and brightly coloured writing, reminding me that my son likes showers not baths, if a bill is due, pack p.e kit on certain days, appointments, feed cats, fish ect s**t going to feed the fish now, maybe they dont work that well ive got more a4 bits of paper on my bedroom wall telling me what i need on certain days of the week for uni, timetables ect, a few lists to check off b4 i leave the house. this is the thing that works best at the moment, but my walls are getting a bit cluttered must take the ones that have been done down! ok took them down i put my tablets next to my toothbrush in the bathroom, in my bag, next to my bed and in the cupboard in the kitchen, so i get a bit confused taking them, i need to get a medicne box thing with days on i too do the tidy till you find it, and sometimes it means a whole room gets tidied because i dont find it until the end ;D but isnt it amazing what you find! its like getting new things all over again i have a hook at the bottom of the stairs for my keys, dont usually remember to put them on it but it would work if i could i have a needs attention basket for important letters, that works but my kitten wee'd in mine so all my important letters are smelly with cat wee! i went out last night and spent longer looking for my clothes, shoes, bag and i.d. than actually getting ready! and was late obviously, its the only think i do consistently, consistantly late! ;D im looking to hear other peoples coping methods so i can try some more that might work, i hope you find some that work for you too safe

Coping strategies…wow…I know I have a few and I hope I learn many more through therapy and here as well. So, here are some things I have found useful and things I simply have not been able to do and how I cope with that…LOL
I am horrible with keeping a schedule. Even if I put a calendar in my purse, I would either forget that I had it or be unable to find it if I needed it. And I simply would not remember to write anything on it routinely. How I have overcome this problem is kind of cheating but it works so I’m not going to feel guilty about it. My friend, Nancy, who is great at keeping a calendar of events, keeps track of my appointments. This is something she does so well and it works for me. I also get a courtesy call the day before my appointments from my doctors’ office.
I repay my friend, Nancy, by cooking for her several times a week. She is not a good cook and if she leaves it to herself, she doesn’t maintain a healthy diet, so I do something for her in return. I love bartering because I get the help I need without feeling bad since I give something in return.
I also have virtually no success with keeping lists. Even if I make one I rarely find them when I need them. Me and lists are like trying to mix vinegar and oil…LOL. “Out of sight, out of mind” is very true when it comes to me and lists. However, I have found something that works for me. When I need to remember something, I write it on a piece of bright colored paper and then I staple it around the strap on my purse or the tote bag I take with me to work. Once I have done the task, I simply tear the paper off of the strap and throw it away.
Another thing that really works for me is that I put my keys on a large clip which I clip onto the strap of my purse. If I am not using them, I put them on the strap. This way, they are immediately accessible when I need them. If I leave them lying around or if I put them inside my purse, I end up having to search and this almost always leaves me frustrated and irritable. Oh, and I keep my purse in my room by my bed so that I can easily find it in the morning.
I keep my meds on the dresser near my bed and a water glass on the night stand. I take my meds right before I go to sleep. This is the only method that has worked for me. Oh, and I pray that I don’t have meds prescribed to me that require me to take them more than once a day because I know I will not be successful. If I get sick and have to take an antibiotic that is more than one dose a day, I take some of them in my purse so that I have them with me. This way, if I forget to take them I will have some available when I’m out and about which is usually when I remember to take them...LOL
I keep my dogs’ leashes on a hook I put on the inside of my front door. I only remove them when I take my dogs out and I immediately put them back when I bring them back inside.
I know these things are not much but they actually help me keep my sanity. It’s the little things…like keys…that really make me go crazy when I cannot find them.
I envy those of you who say that they get things tidied up when they are looking for something lost. I actually make a bigger mess in those situations. I tend to get frantic when I cannot find something I need which is not conducive to getting things cleaned up.
I tend to get a lot more done if I have another adult around. Just having someone there to talk to as I clean helps a lot. The problem with this is actually finding another adult to hang out with me while I clean. It would have to be a very special person for me to feel comfortable enough to let them see my messes.
I think the most important thing is to find and use coping skills that work for you. Just because they work for someone else doesn’t mean they will work for you and you shouldn’t feel down or bad when a suggested skill doesn’t work for you. The important thing is that you keep searching for ways that help you without destroying your quality of life.

Safe,
When I was in elementary school, all of the girls would rush out to the playground and sing this little song. I remember it as if it was just yesterday and it was some 40 years ago. It went, “Tick-tock the game is locked and nobody else can play.” They would stand in a circle with their arms crossed in front of them and holding hands with the girls next to them. Then they would look at me with their smirk-y faces and say, “You’re too late.” I would then be stuck all by myself out on the playground with no one to play with. It hurt worse than words can express, but as I grew older I realized that the people who treated me that way were the people I wouldn’t want to be friends with anyway. Once I was awakened to this fact, it became much easier for me to deal with the rejecters of this world.
Positive affirmations to self are a great way to cope with some of the low points in life. So, hang in there and keep reminding yourself that although you would like to have friends, it’s better to have no friends than the wrong kind.

School was a horrible place and its even worse now unless you send your kids equipped with body armour, ak47's/uzi's and all that. I wish I was joking......
Those people that locked their arms against you, upsydaisy, may have had developmental issues themselves. It's only later on that they may have thought, damn, what a bitch I was in the schooldays. No one is taught to stand strong at schools, they just form constantly evolving/growing/shrinking "loosely connected" packs depending on who broke a nail or who did not win a rap contest blah blah blah.

Daisy I'm with you on having an organised friend!! I have one with ocd who practically memorises everyones diaries!! She was better when i lived down the road from her, but have recently moved 15 miles agay, so i'm on my own now!! She still tries to sort me out bless her!
Also i think school can be a very difficult place for a child with adhd. I only remember having one friend (still my b.friend) at 1st school, i was bullied & very 'disconnected' from what was going on around me. The teachers were more cruel than the kids, they would constantly vent their frustrations at me for never being in the right place at the right time, not having h/w done, poor results etc.. Made worse in the fact i was in a snooty convent with 8 kids per class, i stood out like a sore thumb.. Then would get home, to more nagging & exasperated parents. I was constantly miserable & felt suicidal from an early age, its so sad. This led to huge explosion of terrible behaviour at senior school, which is pretty predictable i guess..
Kids these days are lucky to have some recognition of adhd. My 5 yr old is diagnosed, tho not on meds & the support is good at school. Sadly tho she doesn't have any nice pals, poor thing.
Excuse rant, i needed that!

I'd be lost without my mum, who is always perfectly organised. She's the one that keeps the calendar up together, she reminds me to pay bills and sort my post and she also puts out my medication (For another medical condition) out for me every morning.
When my parents went away earlier this year, I really struggled so I think I may have to find some better coping strategies so I'm not as dependant on her to keep me organised.

I can be very indipendent, but did rely on other people until I was stuck in Malaga airport on my own and relised the reason I didnt know what the hell to do when your flight aint straight forward is I had just let Mrs sort it all. I was so angry with myself and thought need to get a bit more of a grip on things. Then got on plain and had a gang of Manchester lasses getting bevied up all round me, that was fun.
School I loved it but the older kids couldnt catch me as was fast runner and yoused to wind them up so about second week of school they flushed my new coat down the loo LOL
I think alot of the time that tale is like a metaphor people can see you got mad skills but see your weaknesses and keep you down.
UPSYDASY Ye your onto somthink there just a clicky bunch of going nowheres from old job with odd sound person, who am going for a bevy with soon.

Another one Ive just learnt for me may not work for you but here goes is read a bit on being assertive as I can be in work if given that responsability but if not can get walked all over so read up on and now dont get wound up as easy.
I have read about somethink called fogging and works well in loads of day to day ways, its about accepting things will go wrong and to just let it and not to let it bend your head when it does.
Also not allowing others bring you into an argument dont fight back just be like well you get in a mood dont expect me to join in fog them out and stay chilled.

Lol, I wish to see that in practice when a tin of beans falls onto your slippered toe in the mornings out of a cupboard like a booby trap..
Or even the 5 seconds of rage building when I do something that obviously was going to go wrong like filling a mug up to the top with hot water and trying to A) drink it without spilling b) get upstairs without spilling . Lol its just silly.

I agree but anger they say better out than in but were does it get you just wasted energy and other people think your a prat, or worse cause an argument etc it doest change a thing the tin of beans that fell out of fridge dont disapear from your suit because you scream like basal faulty.
Bit out of context the old beans, said it was used for like customer service training about when loads of people kick off on you but Ive just been viewing things like being left in JSA for two hours while they loose my paper work and all get their feathers rustled when I used another tecnique to calmly explain how long I had been their and how it wasnt acceptable and how it made me feal and concluded it wasnt acceptable they had a little sulk and then got there finger out and did somethink about it rather than me getting all wound up RANT OVER

HAHAH, "calmly explain" I can do that as well....
If you are anything like me, you don't let yourself get away with any crap either.. This gives me an edge to try and see both sides of something ---------eventually...................when the world's already blown up, unfortunately. However, sometimes, I can save myself.

...this steak pie is not any steak pie its been left in the oven for 2 weeks as i forgot about it and its gone moldy... ;D Safe ;D...you just summed up my life in under 30 words. I'm such an "out of sight, out of mind" person. I'm so bad I put left over food in plastic zip lock bags before putting them away so that I can just throw them in the trash when I discover them...all moldy of course.
And I completely understand what you mean about fogging. I don't call it fogging, I call it "not allowing others to rent space in my head for free." I can't control the world (although I've tried a time or two...maybe three...LOL) but I can control the way I respond to it. Life if hard enough for me to deal with without adding a negative attitude to it. Now if I could just find a way to keep my flat organized, life would be blissful... ;D

uPSYDSY,
What do you mean yor flat you mean, the west wing were you spend most of your time looking over the ranche watching the gardener cleaning the general Lee, and sipping coktails before embarking out to buy a new suit to put the bears shoulder pads to shame. ;D
That JR what a dirty rotten scoundrell, but that tilton mmmmmm tilt on. we had a show over hear called bring back dallas and they interviewed alot of the cast and JR seemed to tell a story were he called the shots and sounds kind of like they managed to mess up the whole thing. ;D
Another thing is I dont actually see you like that but we have a woman well more a girl called upserdaisy and when she is excited her skirt inflates also she suffers with a bit of gas bless her must be stage fright, nerves. ;D

LOL Safe
Actually, I used to live in Texas and I have actually met JR in person, but not in Dallas. It was Washington, D.C. at a business conference were he was the guess speaker...taking about his problem with addiction. At the time, I was the administrator of the Adult Drug Court in my town here in Nebraska.
Although I don't live on a ranch, I do live in a flat that faces a stream that at times...when it rains heavily...becomes a raging river. The view is very lovey and I feel as if I live in the country instead of in the city. I do sit out on my patio sipping tea or hot coco sometimes...
Oh my...I guess the image of me in some people's mind is a gingerbread looking woman with multicolor dreadlocks... Have you heard the phrase "Upsy Daisy, don't be lazy" That's me trying to motivate myself to get going... ;D It's short, sweet, cute and is a reminder that life is too short to just sit there and not do anything. I guess, it's a type of coping strategy of sorts...

saw this thought was basic but good start ;D www.bbc.co.uk/health/conditions/mental_health/coping_skills.shtmland came from: www.bbc.co.uk/health/conditions/mental_health/coping_index.shtmlCoping skills Many things cause stress in daily life, but there are lots of ways you can help yourself to cope. In this article Self-esteemRealistic appraisalsSelf-efficacy Successful coping responsesRelaxation Talking ourselves through challengesExercise
Self-esteem Day-to-day hassles have a detrimental effect on our physical and emotional wellbeing, but people with good support systems are less negatively affected. In general, self-esteem helps us to deal with the negative effects of day-to-day stress.
Realistic appraisals Coping effectively with life's problems and failures requires realistic expectations. Psychologists call these expectations and judgements 'appraisals'. Life events (such as traffic bottlenecks or the boss's gruff voice) aren't a problem unless we appraise them as such. If our appraisals are realistic, we're better able to react to day-to-day life events with a sense of proportion.
The appraisals we make are a product of our belief system. If we hold unrealistic, inflexible beliefs then our appraisals may not be the most appropriate for the situation.
Irrational beliefs often include 'musts' and 'shoulds', with an emphasis on perfection. 'I must be liked by everyone' and 'I must be competent and perfect all the time' are all irrational beliefs. They're difficult - if not impossible - to achieve.
Alternative appraisals Is it possible to put an alternative interpretation in the place of an irrational judgement? Suppose someone treats you rudely. You may be tempted to think that that person is horrible, or 'everyone dislikes me'.
An alternative interpretation could be: 'I wonder what's happening with that person for them to behave so rudely?' We have the choice how to frame our perceptions.
In addition to these 'primary appraisals', it's important to develop 'secondary appraisals' when we ask ourselves afterwards if there's anything we can do about a life event we've appraised as stressful.
If we feel helpless to change things, or incompetent when facing challenges, then we're less likely to come up with a suitable coping response.
Self-efficacy Psychologists have theorised that people have different levels of 'self-efficacy', which is the confident belief that the responses we make to life challenges have a meaningful effect. People with strong self-efficacy face problems with energy and a 'try, try again' spirit.
But how does this quality develop, and why do some people appear to have a higher level of self-efficacy than others?
Self-efficacy comes from life experiences and from people who serve as significant models. It's built up over the years by responding to challenges with action, flexibility and persistence.
Research suggests that we can increase the self-efficacy we bring to bear on our experiences by:
Living a life of goals. We can't develop self-efficacy unless we succeed at things, and we can't succeed if we don't have goals. Set goals for your life, and give yourself credit when you achieve them. Setting reasonable goals. Aim to set levels that are challenging but realistic enough that you'll be able to reach them. Finding good role models. A model or mentor doesn't have to be someone you actually know, but they should be inspirational figures who demonstrate mastery. Talking to yourself positively. Instead of belittling yourself for the tiniest faults, build yourself up for the smallest successes. Remembering that it all takes energy and effort to succeed. Athletes know that you have to want to win and put in hours of training to make the mark; everyday life also needs that push to succeed.
Successful coping responses Making constructive use of the network of people around you is a coping skill often forgotten by people under pressure.
Are there people you can count on to listen to you when you need to talk? Can you speak to them frankly, without worrying about what you say? And are there people in your life you can count on to support you in major decisions?
Studies have shown that people with a good support system are more successful at overcoming depression, maintaining self-esteem and overcoming loneliness.
There's also some evidence that people boasting a good support system are likely to have fewer health complaints. The mere task of building your own support system is a coping skill, because it requires personal effort.
Being proactive - instead of passively waiting for things to get better - gives us an increased feeling of competence and self-esteem.
Relaxation Relaxation doesn't just happen - surprisingly, it's a skill you need to practise. To find out how, check the relaxation section.
Talking ourselves through challenges It's only human to talk to yourself, silently or out loud. We can use this ability to coach ourselves through difficult challenges. Although you probably do this to some extent already, there are three techniques that may help you do this more effectively:
Prepare for the challenge - think in terms of how you'll cope and what you'll gain from the experience, even if it's certain to be stressful. Phrases such as: 'It may not be enjoyable, but I can handle it' and 'I'm anxious about this, but that's only natural' would be good examples. Confront the challenge - during the actual event build yourself up by tackling the challenge head-on and talking yourself through things. 'This is tough, but I'll survive' and 'I'm getting stressed - I need to relax and stick to my original plan' might be ways of dealing with the situation. Reflect on what you've learned - take time to think about what actually happened and ask yourself how you can improve, without being too self-critical. Visualise yourself as you were coping and getting through the situation: appreciate what you did right, and don't be too harsh while correcting what went wrong. 'I survived - and it wasn't as bad as I thought' might be an excellent reflection after a very trying task.
Exercise The benefits of regular activity for both our physical and mental health are well-documented. Exercise helps us cope with stress and anxiety, and also seems to enhance our sense of control and self-efficacy.
However, it's possible to exercise too much and if you're new to exercise, or haven't been active for quite a while, be sure to speak with a qualified fitness coach or your GP before beginning your new fitness regime.
Good luck developing your own coping techniques, as well as searching out alternative ways of approaching daily problems and hassles.
